The Design

About Ripples of Time Residential Interieursdesign

Ripples of Time ass en Interieursdesign fir eng Residenz, deen zwou Unitéiten zu engem 1056 Quadratmeter groussen Doheem fir eng Famill mat méi Generatiounen zesummeféiert. Déi 13 original strukturell Kolonnen si mat transluzentem Steen verkleet, sou datt d'Struktur zu engem artistesche Feature gëtt. Eng fräistoend audiovisuell Unitéit ersetzt déi traditionell Fernsehmauer an hält déi panoramesch Vue op. Eng 4,7 Meter laang Iessdësch aus Marber gëtt vun enger verstoppter Stolstruktur gedroen, sou datt keng Dëschbeen néideg sinn. Recycléierten italienesche Steen an en integréiert Smart-Home-System ginn an der ganzer Residenz benotzt.

Production Technology: The design methodology transforms the original structure into an artistic flow. Key features include the living room's TV wall free design and an intricate CNC carved marble screen at the entrance. The project utilizes diverse materials, from translucent stone on columns to a 470kg raw stone sink in the bathroom. The 4.7 meter suspended marble table, which uses an invisible steel structure to eliminate table legs and create a sleek, modern aesthetic.
Design Challenge: A key challenge was transforming the building's 13 structural columns from obstacles into artistic features. The design required solving complex engineering problems, such as securely suspending a 4.7 meter marble table and a 470kg stone sink. Balancing the demands of grand entertaining with the intimacy needed for multi generational living was also crucial. Finally, integrating a sophisticated smart home system seamlessly from the initial design phase presented a unique technical and creative hurdle.
Research: This project involved significant engineering innovation. To support the 4.7 meter dining table, a complex steel frame with over 700 components was engineered and concealed within the bar counter. The 470kg stone sink also required a custom steel support system for safe suspension. Additionally, the smart home system was integrated from the start, extending to advanced humidity and air pressure controls, ensuring optimal air quality and a seamless user experience.
Inspiration: The design draws inspiration from the building's original architectural structure, transforming its 13 structural columns and symmetrical layout into a rhythmic, artistic statement. A key motive was to seamlessly integrate the natural landscape, using views of the Taichung skyline and Central Mountain Range as a core design element to harmonize with nature, art, and function.
Project Duration: The project finished in August 2024 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: The design is highly interactive and user focused. The smart home system allows residents to control the entire environment via voice or smartphone for different scenarios. Spatial fluidity is key, with non directional sofas and a circular flow in the bedrooms encouraging social interaction. The custom designed dining tables are not only visually striking but also highly practical, with a leg free design that ensures comfort and facilitates large scale entertainment. The tea room's motorized lift table provides functional flexibility.
